After Nader's demise the construction process was halted, which is clearly visible from the state of the building and the calligraphies and paintings. The namesake of the palace was a wife of Nader apparently, who was named "Khorshid", meaning "Sun". The palace was meant to house the Shah's treasury, and the jewels he had taken from India. History Ĭoming back from his Indian campaign, he brought many Indian architect and engineer captives, which he ordered to construct him a palace in Kalat. It is currently used as a museum of anthropology.
Its construction was cut short however after the assassination of the Shah.
Built in 1738-1739, it is one of the few buildings that were built during the reign of Nader Shah Afshar. The Nader Palace ( Persian: کاخ نادر), the Kalat Palace ( Persian: کاخ کلات) or the Sun Palace ( Persian: کاخ خورشید) is a palace in Kalat (Nader Dejh), Iran.
